Neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease

Michael T. Heneka, +41 more
- 01 Apr 2015 - 
TL;DR: Genome-wide analysis suggests that several genes that increase the risk for sporadic Alzheimer's disease encode factors that regulate glial clearance of misfolded proteins and the inflammatory reaction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microglial physiology: unique stimuli, specialized responses

TL;DR: A wealth of data now demonstrate that the microglia have very diverse effector functions, in line with macrophage populations in other organs, and the term activatedmicroglia needs to be qualified to reflect the distinct and very different states of activation-associated effector function in different disease states.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microglia in neurodegenerative disease

TL;DR: The persistence of activated microglia long after acute injury and in chronic disease suggests that these cells have an innate immune memory of tissue injury and degeneration, and could contribute to the outcome of neurodegenerative diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Systemic infections and inflammation affect chronic neurodegeneration.

TL;DR: Evidence is reviewed to support the hypothesis that in chronic neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, with an ongoing innate immune response in the brain, systemic infections and inflammation can cause acute exacerbations of symptoms and drive the progression of neurodegenersation.
